Fauji papa

28 : Water

Ishaan, ansh and madhavi were back from school and noor welcomed them like it has been a momth the last time she saw them.

She clinged to madhavi and was not leaving her side. Madhavi also hugged her tightly and told her everything that has happened at school.

"Mujhe na pareshaan kardiye aaj bache ne, bohot headache horahi hai! Mai chai banati hu aur apke liye doodh."

"Doodh nahi peeeni!!" Noor says stubbornly.

Madhavi has been making her drink milk twice a day mixed with nut powder made with various nuts and seeds, sweetened with dates. These were madhavi's desperate attempts to make noor gain weight. But noor has been growing increasingly disgusted by even the thought of milk.

"Aisa nahi bolthe bacha! Apko jaldi healthy hona haina tho doodh peena padega! Aap tall and strong hojaoge jaldi fir ansh bhaiya se hand wrestling jeeth jayenge!" Madhavi tries reasoning with her but noor sits stubborn.

"Nahi aaj tho bilkul nahi peeungi!" Noor says while folding her hands and puffing her cheeks.

"Noor! Papa gussa hojayenge agar unhe pata chala ki aap doodh nahi pee rahe! Dekhe na kal kaisa daant padi ishu bhaiya ko kyuki wo lunch ke dabba finish nahi kiye!" Madhavi tries scaring her by using kalyan's name but noor was far from scared of kalyan. He doesn't even glare at her, let alone raise his voice or scold or punish her.

"Phir bhi nahi peeungi! Aaj tho bilkul bhi nahi! Lunch me bhi apne lauki banaye mujhe wo nahi pasand! Par apne mujse promise karaya khane ko tho me kha liya! Doodh tho bilkul nahi!!" Noor says while stomping her feet.

Ishaan and ansh were looking at this nervously. If it was one of them in place of noor, their mother would have definitely whacked them couple of times by now. They know that madhavi is holding back a lot.

"Noor! Apne mere diye homework kiya??" Ishaan comes and asks noor who was busy glaring at madhavi.

"Oo me tho bhool gayi oops!" Noor bites her tongue and shows puppy eyes to ishaan.

"Tho fir apko punishment lena padega!"

"Punishment?? Pleasee nahi naaa.. ab karlungii!" Noor makes the best puppy eyes and says cutely.

"Nahi bilkul milegi! Homework teen baar karo jao!" Ishaan orders in a no nonsense tone. Ansh cringed as he resembled kalyan a bit too much.

"Bhaiyaa pleaseee aap mere pyaare ae bhaiya hona! Ek baar maaf kardo pweaesee!" Noor says while hanging over ishaan's legs.

"Acha chalo maaf kardunga agar tum doodh piliya tho!" Ishaan says while picking her up.

"Nahi peenaaa..." noor mutters slowly.

"Tho jake likhna shuru karo go!" Ishaan orders again in a stern voice.

"Hufff peelungi khush??" Noor angrily scoffs at ishaan and goes towards madhavi.

"Mumma mujhe doodh dede! Dekho bhaiya kitne khadoos ban rahe he!" Noor immediately complains to madhavi.

"Ekdum sahi kia! Din va din apki zid badti jaa rahi hai!!" Madhavi says while smiling and noor pouts while murmuring that she will complain to kalyan.

Madhavi gives the milk to noor and she starts sipping on it. She makes faces but madhavi points at ishaan and noor gulps everything. Madhavi smiles and ruffles her hair.

"Kya bana rahe ho?" Ansh comes into the kitchen and asks madhavi.

"Chai ke liye paani ubaal rahi hu! Bhook lagi hai?" Madhavi asks while tickling his stomach.
